My first real bonehead move in linux... rm -f * in /usr/bin.
Normally I don't even login as root, and of course I was when
I did that.  Fortunately, I had just made a tmp directory 
and reinstalled the bin.tpz, which has the real crucial stuff.

A lot of the extras I was planning on updating/replacing, anyway.

Main thing I want back: the SLS "sysinstall" program.  Where
is this, and how can I get it without installing over
possibly newer things?  (I still have a1 and a2 disks).

(Of course I don't have anything backed up.  Any pointers on
backing up to floppies, will anything like afio work?)

By the way, the reason I had redone the bin.tpz install in
the first place was I was looking for cron.  This did not
show up in /install/installed, it also wasn't in bin.tpz.
Where should it be, on the SLS disks?

thanks, levin
